Why Choose Destination Yoga?

This is not just a yoga retreat—it is an opportunity for you to reset, to deepen your Yoga practice, and to immerse yourself in the landscape and culture of Bali.

Set in Uluwatu, this immersive practice will reignite your passion for Yoga with clarity, precision and purpose.

With decades of dedicated practice, Josh brings both depth and clarity to his teaching. This is not about information—it’s about learning how to apply it.

You’ll be guided with precision, structure, and attention to detail throughout the retreat.

❋ Led with Experience

The environment is not a backdrop—it is part of the experience.

Set in Bali, the space allows for immersion, focus, and consistency in your practice.

❋ A Setting That Supports Practice

This retreat goes beyond physical postures.
You’ll study the principles that underpin practice—giving context, depth, and direction to how and why you practice.

❋ Rooted in Philosophy

You’ll practice alongside a group committed to learning, not just participating.

The environment is focused, supportive, and built for growth, community and an incredible time together.

❋ A Serious, Supportive Community

This retreat is for those who
want more than just an experience.

It is for those who want to understand
how to practice with clarity,
and precision,
and to
immerse yourself in a method that lasts beyond the retreat itself.

You’ll be guided through a structured process that challenges how you see movement, breath, and practice.

If you’re ready, we invite you to apply.

Not all retreats are created equal.

Where environment shapes experience—and practice goes deeper.

This is where you disconnect from noise and reconnect to what matters.

For those who want to feel their practice again, not just go through it.

Refined. Intentional. Uncomplicated.

Where You Will Stay

Your home for this 5-night, all-inclusive retreat is the stunning Uluwatu Surf Villas—set high above the ocean in one of Bali’s most breathtaking coastal landscapes.

This retreat is rooted in yoga, but it extends far beyond the mat. Your days will unfold between practice and exploration—swimming in clear blue waters, walking through lush jungle paths, and experiencing the rhythm of Bali’s culture, food, and way of life. There’s something about this place that stays with you—and once you’re here, you’ll understand why.

Each day is anchored by two yoga sessions: a morning practice to ground and energize, and an evening practice to unwind and refine. In between, there will be space for workshops, deeper study, and time to play—alongside plenty of freedom to rest, explore, and take in your surroundings.

Rather than a rigid itinerary, this experience is designed to feel spacious and intentional. You can expect meaningful practice, incredible meals, cultural immersion, and a group that quickly feels like something more than just a collection of individuals.

If you’re ready for a reset—physically, mentally, and creatively—I’d love for you to join us.

Destination Yoga

200hr Yoga Teacher Training

This training is designed to develop more than your ability to move.

It is a process of learning how to see clearly— how to understand practice, and how to teach with structure, precision, and intention.

Set in Tuscany, the environment supports immersion.
But the focus is the work: consistent practice, thoughtful study, and applied understanding.

Over the course of the training, your relationship to yoga will evolve—
not through novelty, but through refinement.

What sets this training apart

1. A Method, Not a Style
You won’t be taught what to teach—you’ll learn how to think.
The training is grounded in the Destination Yoga Method, giving you a framework you can apply long after the program ends.

2. Precision in Practice and Teaching
We place a strong emphasis on alignment, language, and sequencing.
You’ll develop the ability to see, assess, and communicate clearly.

3. Rooted in Tradition, Applied Practically
The training draws from the classical lineage of modern yoga, while remaining relevant to contemporary practice.
Philosophy is not abstract—it informs how you practice and how you teach.

4. A Structured, Progressive Approach
This is not a collection of classes.
The training is designed as a progression—each part building on the last.

5. A Focused Learning Environment
You’ll train alongside a group committed to learning, not just attending.
The environment supports discipline, consistency, and growth.

This is not about becoming a different version of yourself.

It is about refining what is already there — and developing the clarity to share it.

What People Are Saying

I found Josh via the Alo Yoga app at the beginning of pandemic… his quick and punchy workouts saved me as we went into lockdown. Fast forward to 2023 as I was plotting my sabbatical - my partner shared Josh was planning a Bali Yoga retreat and I jumped on the opportunity immediately. I was always an on/off beginner yoga practitioner and ultimately arrived at: why not immerse myself and take my practice to the next level, amongst a stunning Uluwatu backdrop?

The ~week long retreat was the ideal mixture of AM sessions, afternoon deep dives and sometimes a chill evening of Yin under the stars. Continuing to get out of my comfort zone, I managed to squeeze in a surf lesson with some friends I made, conquering my lifelong fear of surfing. The Uluwatu Surf Villa meals were delicious, healthy and abundant and a perfect way to get to know your yogamates when you're not lounging by your own villa plunge pool. We even enjoyed a few sundowners together.

I had no preconceived notions of what to expect - I arrived with an open-mind and left with an even bigger open heart for yoga, Josh and Ali. For this advertising sales exec, obsessed with solving commercial growth problems, it was the personal growth experience I needed and exactly what the doctor ordered. Oh and I may have left with some solid headstand skills.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We welcome all ages with open arms. We have had students in their teens join, as well as others in their 70's. Age becomes an irrelevant factor, and you will find that you develop friendships with people irrespective of age. The only factor we ask you to consider, is your level of energy. Days are long and can be quite demanding. You are always welcome to take time to rest as you need it, but please keep this in mind.

  • We completely understand this concern! Once you arrive at the venue, you will feel completely looked after and it definitely won't feel like you are traveling solo anymore. That being said, taking the leap to travel from the comfort of your home to somewhere foreign like Italy can be quite scary. We are happy to work with you individually to help make sure you have taken all the right steps, and feel supported from your doorstep, to your Yoga mat. In certain instances, we may be able to connect you with other students traveling from your same location so that you have a travel buddy. We are also able to connect you with travel advisories to help you with booking any flights and transport.

  • We understand that many people have dietary requirements, and it can be a challenge to have meals outside of your home. Our trainings and retreats are catered by the host accommodation, and we will provide them with your dietary needs. We must ensure that you let us know in advance of any restrictions so that we can work with you on them.

  • We are happy to offer personalized payment plans to work with your needs. The only requirement is that you pay an initial deposit in order to secure your spot on the training/retreat. Send us a message and ask us about a payment plan to suit you.

  • Upon successful completion of the training, you will receive a 200 hour Yoga Alliance certificate. This is valid throughout the world, and it will be up to you if you choose to register yourself on Yoga Alliance which will incur an additional fee. This is optional as certain employers may require you to register.

    There will be additional requirements after the training is complete that you will be invited to undertake. If you complete these successfully, you will be eligible for an additional Destination Yoga Method (DYM) certification. This is not affiliated with Yoga Alliance and is a stand-alone certificate to demonstrate your level of teaching proficiency under the Destination Yoga teaching method.

  • Unless otherwise specified, we tend to limit our training capacity to between 15-22 students. This is done intentionally to ensure a high standard of quality and to ensure you are able to receive adequate attention from the lead teacher without being lost in the crowd.

  • Keep practicing! We recommend that you practice with Josh online to familiarize yourself with his teaching style. Having an established regular practice will help you get used to the regular practice on the training. In terms of study, we do not expect you to have any base level knowledge of Yoga philosophy, history etc. This will all be taught to you during the course.

  • On trainings, we do an Asana practice twice daily - once in the morning, and once in the evening. In addition to this, throughout the day you will often be moving as you practice teach, study anatomy etc. It is very normal that during the training your body will feel exhausted. You are invited to "observe" sessions if you feel like you need a break from the movement.

  • This is a Yoga Teacher Training, and so the focus is first and foremost on Yoga. We spend the majority of our days immersed in practice, study, learning to teach and more. That being said, these trainings give you ample time to have fun and enjoy the destination you are in. During busy teaching days, that might look like a run down to the beach or pool for a dip during lunch, or going to a sunset restaurant as a group after classes. On our scheduled days off you are free to do as you want, or join us for a planned group excursion such as a yacht snorkeling trip or wine tasting. You will work hard, you will completely immerse yourself in all aspects of Yoga, but you will also have an amazing time with your community.
